ITEM FOR LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATION
October 2024 Community Library Report

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.

Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the Carpinteria Community Library report.

BACKGROUND
The Carpinteria Community Library, established by Ordinance No. 747 on June 14, 2021, and added to the Municipal Code, Chapter 2.38, also established a Library Board of Trustees (section 2.38.030) to meet at least once a month. outreach efforts and staff changes.

DISCUSSION
Program Updates
Carpinteria Community Library staff produce 9 weekly programs, 2 monthly programs, and several individual programs or program series through the year. In addition to staffproduced programs, the Library hosts an additional 6 weekly programs, 2 semi-monthly programs, 1 monthly program, and a smattering of one-off programs that are predominantly organized by outside groups. The programs vary in length from 45 minutes to 2 hours and each program requires room set-up, planning and preparation, and publicity and outreach such as fliers and social media. Combined, the Library is hosting roughly 16 weekly ongoing regular programs, plus the monthly and special programs.

Computer Classes: The Partners in Education Basic Computer classes have been completed. The classes were filled to capacity, and 40 individuals received certificates of completion and a new Chromebook to take home. Students have expressed their desire to LBOT Staff Report
October 14, 2024

continue learning computer skills at the Library on an ongoing basis and a majority of the Spanish speaking students requested the classes be held in the evening.

Statistics: The Library added over 3,300 new items to the collections in Fiscal Year 2023/24. The majority of those items were added manually, which means that staff ordered, catalogued, and processed more than 3,300 items. The Library has added a preprocessing vendor and is now getting approximately 50% of the new books in shelf-ready condition, which will cut down on staff time needed for new materials.

Operations: New tables have been ordered for the community room. The tables are flipup tables on wheels, which will greatly support the layout changes needed for different programs. The carpet was cleaned professionally over the Labor Day holiday closure and the Public Works Department is planning to replace the existing toilets with professional grade toilets later this year. There are funds remaining from the renovation donation made in 2022 by the La Centra-Sumerlin Foundation to replace the tile in the restrooms at the same time.

Staff Updates: The City Librarian attended the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL) national conference in September. It was a useful and productive conference, the City Librarian made connections with vendors of Spanish language books, gained ideas for collaborating with other Black Gold member libraries, and learned from other small public libraries regarding policies, practices, and programming.

Donation: The Friends of the Carpinteria Library received donations in honor of Brad Smith, a long-time and beloved board member of the Friends of the Library. The Friends of the Library would like to use these funds to spruce up the Library patio area with new furniture and an updated patio deck.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The Library programs and resources are consistent with the actions of the City Council concerning the establishment of a municipal library.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
All resources and activities are budgeted in the FY2024-2025 Library budget.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
As determined necessary and appropriate, staff consults with the risk managers of its insurance entity, the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, in order to ensure compliance with legal requirements and best practices.

Unfortunately, the project was not selected for award. On September 18, 2024, staff met with the federal nt application was
able to demonstrate a technical need for the proposed pavement improvements including pedestrian facility ADA upgrades, but high evaluation points are/were scored towards disadvantaged communities in which the Carpinteria community is categorically not a disadvantaged community.

Staff will continue to research and pursue any grant program for eligible pavement improvement projects.

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
October 14, 2024

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Appropriation of Local Surface Transportation Program Funds.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve a budget appropriation in the amount of $402,564 from the Local Surface Transportation Program funds to the Capital Improvements Fund of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Capital Improvements Program Budget for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.

Sample Motion: I move to approve a budget appropriation in the amount of $402,564 from the Local Surface Transportation Program funds to the Capital Improvements Fund of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Capital Improvements Program Budget for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. (This motion requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
On March 19, 2024, City Council held a special meeting to conduct a Capital Improvement Program Study Session. At the conclusion of the study session, there was City Council consensus to prioritize the following critical infrastructure projects as top priority:
2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
2023 Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project
Via Real Stormwater Project
Carpinteria Avenue Bridge Replacement Project
Former Venoco Oil Pipeline #0470 Abandonment Project
On April 8, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Toro Enterprises, Inc. for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The p includes pavement rehabilitation, pedestrian facility upgrades, and drainage improvements; and with the Contract Time of 120 working days. The following streets as listed below are a part of the project:

1 Minor storm drain improvements only.
2 Colored mountable curb only for consistency with Third Street and Dorrance Way. 3 Pavement rehabilitation and Vallecito Road and Star Pine Road intersection minor storm drain improvements.

The construction phase began in June 2024. The construction phase is in progress, and the estimated completion date is December 2024.

In July 2024, the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) informed the City about the availability of funds in the amount of $402,564 from the Local Surface Transportation Program (LSTP) for the purpose of only pavement rehabilitation including associated pedestrian facility upgrades and drainage improvements. The City submitted a request for the LSTP funds, and the City received a check of the full amount in September 2024.

The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to consider a budget appropriation in the amount of $402,564 from the LSTP funds to the Capital Improvements Fund of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Capital Improvements Program Budget in order to augment the budget of the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project for additional improvements.

DISCUSSION
As mentioned above, SBCAG informed the City about the availability of LSTP funds in the amount of $402,564, and the City recently received a check of the full amount. When the construction contract was awarded to Toro Enterprises, Inc. for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project, the construction contract amount was only for the total base bid.

That is, the total base bid did not include additive bid items limited Appropriation of Local Surface Transportation Program Funds October 14, 2024

funding. The purpose of including additive bid items was for the City to solicit bids that would allow flexibility in the scope of work based on available funding without the legal commitment to award these items. The additive bids items include removal and replacement of damaged curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and driveway approaches. The total cost of the additive bids items is approximately $173,000.

With the LSTP funds, the additive bid items are now able to be financially afforded as a part of
unit prices of the additive bid items are the lowest and still valid, 2) the construction contractor is already mobilized and able to perform the work without delay, 3) the additive bid items are already a part of the plans and specifications, 4) there is no need to rebid the additive bid items, and 5) the scope of work of the additive bid items is consistent with the purpose of the LSTP funds. Further, use of LSTP funds for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project would allow for positive augmentation of funds. Remaining funds, depending on their category (restricted or discretionary), may be considered by the Council for future appropriation. With that, staff recommends for the LSTP funds to be appropriated towards the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.

The following table summarizes the proposed revenue and expense:

Revenue
Capital Improvement Projects Fund
(includes Measure A, Measure X, Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Program, and Development Impact Fees)
$6,168,400
Additional appropriation (LSTP Funds) $402,600
Total (rounded up to the nearest thousand) $6,571,000
Expense
Construction Contract (Total Base Bid) $5,416,217
Construction Contract Contingency (5.4%) $354,109
Construction Management and Inspection $311,320
Acceptance/Materials Testing Services $86,790
Budget augmentation (LSTP Funds) $402,564
Total $6,571,000
Total (rounded up to the nearest thousand) $6,571,000

30934816.3
City of Carpinteria

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
October 14, 2024

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Adoption of Ordinance No. 786 (second reading), amending Carpinteria Municipal Code Section 8.20 pertaining to public sleeping and camping.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 786 (second reading), amending Carpinteria Municipal Code Section

8.20 pertaining to public sleeping and camping.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 786 (second reading), as read by title only. (This motion requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
The Carpinteria Municipal Code (“CMC”) Sections 8.20 and 12.24 (collectively, the “No Camping Regulations”) currently prohibits persons from sleeping, camping, or lodging on public and private property in the City of Carpinteria (“City”), subject to exceptions for designated places or where the owner of the property has granted permission. This prohibition, however, is not enforceable against homeless persons when there is no available shelter, subject to limited exceptions.

This exception to enforcement was added to the No Camping Regulations in 2023 to comply with then-recent case law, including the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Martin v. City of Boise (“Martin”) and Johnson v. City of Grants Pass (“Grants Pass”). 1 Martin prohibited
enforcement of no-camping regulations against individuals that do not have access to shelter on a theory that enforcement in such a situation would constitute “cruel and unusual punishment.” The decision did not, however, provide a clear definition for what constitutes “access to shelter.” This ambiguity led to a proliferation of cases such as Grants Pass where courts struggled to interpret the “access to shelter” requirement.

After the City updated the No Camping Regulations to align with Martin and Grants Pass, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Grants Pass on appeal. In June 2024, the Supreme 1 A copy of the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Martin is available here, and a copy of its decision in Grants Pass is available here.
30934816.3
Approve Ordinance No. 786, public sleeping and camping
October 14, 2024

Court released its decision in Grants Pass.2In a 6 to 3 decision, the Court held that enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property does not constitute “cruel and unusual punishment” prohibited by the Eighth Amendment, thereby overturning not only the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Grants Pass but also Martin. In effect, the Court’s ruling allows cities to enforce generally applicable no-camping regulations without verifying whether the individual has “access to shelter” beforehand.

Ordinance No. 786 proposes to amend CMC Section 8.20 to bring the CMC into better alignment with the Supreme Court’s decision in Grants Pass. CMC Section 12.24 incorporates CMC Section 8.20 by reference and therefore will incorporate updates made to CMC Section 8.20 without CMC Section 12.24 being expressly amended.

The City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 786 at its meeting on September 23, 2024. The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to consider adopting Ordinance No. 786 (second reading), which updates CMC Section 8.20 to better align with recent case law. Specifically, Ordinance No. 786 amends CMC Section 8.20 such that the City is permitted to enforce the prohibition on camping consistent with and to the extent permitted by applicable law, including the Court’s recent decision in Grants Pass.

DISCUSSION
The proposed amendments to CMC Section 8.20 (Attachment A) would bring the CMC into alignment with recent case law by eliminating the “access to shelter” concept from Martin that is no longer applicable. The proposed amendments are also drafted broadly with the goal that the CMC will not need to be amended each time the law in this area changes. Rather, by permitting enforcement consistent with (and to the extent permitted by) applicable law, the CMC should always align with “applicable law,” even as that law evolves.

In addition to amending CMC Section 8.20, the City will also need to amend its Administrative Policy for Enforcement of No Camping Regulations (CMC Sections 8.20 and 12.24) (“Policy”) (Attachment B). The Policy was developed to assist both City staff and other enforcement personnel with understanding the status and limitations of recent case law and how these decisions impact their ability to enforce the City’s No Camping Regulations. The Policy also provides a guide/flowchart for City staff to refer to when determining how and when to enforce the No Camping Regulations and informs staff of the services that they can offer to homeless persons.

The Policy needs to be updated to explain the Court’s decision in Grants Pass. Further, to the extent the City desires to change its approach to enforcement now that checking whether “access to shelter” is available before enforcing the No Camping Regulations against homeless persons is no longer required, the City will need to update the approach outlined in the Policy. The City is researching other localities’ approaches to enforcement in light of the Court’s recent discussion and considering potential enforcement approaches for the City. 2 A copy of the Supreme Court’s decision is available here. 30934816.3
Approve Ordinance No. 786, public sleeping and camping
October 14, 2024

At the September 23, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council provided input and direction to staff on potential enforcement approaches. City staff will present an updated draft of the Policy to the Council as a separate agenda matter.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed ordinance amending CMC Section 8.20 is consistent with the City aligning the CMC and City policies and procedures with changes in the law. promoting public health and safety, and with
Resolution No. 6038, concerning the Community Action Plan to Address Homelessness in Santa Barbara County, which includes the following strategies:

1. lncrease Access to Safe, Affordable Housing

2. Use Best Practices to Deliver Tailored Supportive Services to Meet lndividual Needs

3. Build a Collective Action Plan

4. lmprove Data Sharing

5. Strengthen Support Systems Available to Help Residents Obtain and Maintain Housing

6. Build Provider Capacity to Address the Needs of Specific Populations.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There are no direct financial considerations related to this item.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Ordinance No. 786 is exempt from review under CEQA in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(2), which applies where an activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; section 15060(c)(3), which applies section 15061(b)(3), which applies where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Since Martin,
Regulations has become an evolving area of law. The City is aware of various ongoing litigation matters in other jurisdictions in which such jurisdictions challenged or scrutinized. Given the evolving nature of this area of law, there is some risk that the law could be further refined or modified by the courts. The amendments proposed by Ordinance No. 786
in Grants Pass and are intended to be broad enough to prevent the City from needing to update the CMC every time the law in this area changes. 30934816.3

ORDINANCE NO. 786

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARPINTERIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 8.20 OF THE

CARPINTERIA MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, and other cities in the surrounding
region, and throughout the State of California, there is a significant number of people experiencing homelessness;
WHEREAS, homeless persons sometimes camp, sleep, or lodge on public or private property, particularly if they have no other place to sleep; WHEREAS, camping in undesignated places can create unsanitary, unhealthy, disorderly, and dangerous conditions that may affect both the campers and the general public; WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of California has, in Government Code sections 65302, 65560, and 65800, conferred upon local governments the authority to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry; WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code sections 65302, 65560, and 65800, the City currently prohibits sleeping and camping except in designated places pursuant to Carpinteria except
in designated areas pursuant to CMC Chapter 12.24;
WHEREAS, CMC Chapters 8.20 and 12.24 currently prohibit enforcement of the camping prohibition against homeless persons when there is no access to shelter, as the Ninth Circuit has previously held that enforcement in such a situation would constitute unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment;
WHEREAS, the U.S. Supreme Court recently overturned the relevant Ninth Circuit decisions, holding that enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment, thereby allowing cities to enforce generally applicable no-camping regulations without verifying whether the individual has access to shelter beforehand;
WHEREAS, the City, in consultation with legal counsel, has determined that CMC Chapter 8.20 requires updates in order to better align with recent case law; WHEREAS, this Ordinance intends to permit the City to enforce CMC Chapters 8.20 and

12.24 against homeless persons to the extent permitted by and consistent with applicable law, as the same may change from time to time;
WHEREAS, it has been determined that amending the CMC as provided for in this Ordinance is ; and
WHEREAS, the City acknowledges that homelessness continues to remain a dynamic and evolving issue within the City and the surrounding region that requires coordinated efforts by the 25268747.5
Ordinance No. 786
City, the County of Santa Barbara, the State of California, the Federal Government, and regional partners.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARPINTERIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals Incorporated.

The above recitals are incorporated herein and are each relied upon independently by the City Council in its adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 2. Amendment of Chapter 8.20 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code.

Chapter 8.20 of the CMC is hereby amended to read as set forth in Exhibit A, the text and strikeout of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

SECTION 3. Effective Date.

This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty days following the second reading of the Ordinance. Before the expiration of fifteen (15) days following passage, this Ordinance shall be published once with the names of the members of the City Council voting for and against the same in the Coastal View News, a newspaper of general circulation, published in the City.

SECTION 4. Severability.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted this Ordinance, and each and all provisions hereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more provisions may be declared invalid.

SECTION 5. CEQA Exemption.

The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Guidelines sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment),
in section 15378), and 15061(b)(3) (the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA).

The Ordinance generally prevents changes in the environment and thus has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8

City of Carpinteria

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
October 14, 2024

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Revision of Joint Powers Agency ( JPA ) Agreement and amended bylaws of the Black Gold Cooperative Library System .

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to sign the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement of the Black Gold Cooperative Library System and the Amended Bylaws of the Black Gold Cooperative Library System
Sample Motion: I move to authorize the City Manager to sign the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement of the Black Gold Cooperative Library System and the Amended Bylaws of the Black Gold Cooperative Library System. (Requires a roll call vote.)

BACKGROUND
In June 2022, the City of Carpinteria entered into an agreement with the Black Gold Cooperative Library System, along with five other cities included in the JPA. Founded in 1964, Black Gold was formed for the purpose of increasing the quality and quantity of library services through shared resources. One of nine cooperative library systems in California, Black Gold serves Member public libraries in three counties on the Central Coast, including libraries in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties. Also in 2022, Black Gold began the process of reviewing the 1984 Amended Joint Powers Agreement, creating as a separate legal entity the Black Gold Cooperative Library System. The JPA serves as the governing document of Black Gold. Because the Bylaws are an integral part of the JPA, the Bylaws were also reviewed and amended.

Black Gold provides a number of services to the Carpinteria Community Library, including administrative services, delivery of materials to member libraries, a networked automation system including an online catalog with shared cataloging, telecommunications, public internet, and access to downloadable services. In addition, the delivery service makes trips to member libraries and the Black Gold headquarters several days a week, transporting items borrowed by patrons of member libraries. (Attachment C)
Library Directors from each member library jurisdiction , and the Director of Black Gold, revised the Agreement and the Bylaws with the goal to update the documents. Over the past year, City Attorneys from all Member cities including Santa Paula, Carpinteria, Goleta, Revision of Joint Powers Agency Agreement
October 14, 2024

Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Paso Robles worked together to revise the Agreement and Bylaws to craft fair and cooperative documents. As of October 1, 2024, all other Black Gold member cities or special districts have approved the revised JPA.

DISCUSSION
The substantive revisions of the JPA (Attachment A) and Bylaws (Attachment B) determine how the Members reach an agreement and the process for joining or leaving Black Gold. In many cases, a super majority, or all Members but one, is how Members will make decisions. The current membership consists of six members, and it was determined that a simple majority would not provide the desired alignment as would “all but one” votes.

Regarding a Member choosing to leave Black Gold, the revised JPA states “…withdrawal shall not be effective until the withdrawing Member has satisfied or has entered into a written agreement with the Agency to satisfy any debts, including its share of the UAPL determined under Section 8, above, owed to the Agency.” While previous Members were able to part from Black Gold without having paid their share of the Unfunded Accrued Pension Liability (UAPL), it has left existing Members and the County of Santa Barbara paying that Member portion of the unfunded pension liability and was deemed unfair and unethical. The revision to the JPA seeks to prevent that from happening in the future. Should the City of Carpinteria determine, in the future, to leave the Black Gold Cooperative Library System, there may be costs associated with unpaid UAPL. Costs would be determined at that time.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
This agenda item is consistent with City Ordinance No. 747, amending Title 2 of the Carpinteria Municipal Code by modifying Chapter 2.20, City Departments, adding a new Library Division to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department (formerly Parks, Recreation, and Public Facilities - modified via Ordinance No. 768), and adding Chapter 2.38, Municipal Library.

The agenda item is also consistent with the Council’s request that the California State Library Board consider the City of Carpinteria’s affiliation with the Black Gold Cooperative Library System, effective July 1, 2022.1

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
No additional funding is requested.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney’s Office has been involved in the drafting of the revisions to the JPA Agreement and Bylaws and is available to answer any questions.

Sample Motion: I move to (1) receive and file the updated Administrative Policy for Enforcement of No Camping Regulations (CMC 8.20 and 12.24) and (2) find that this is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

BACKGROUND
Over the past year, the City has made various updates to to align with changes to
case law regarding enforcement of no camping ordinances.

Martin v.

City of Boise Martin Johnson v. City of Grants Pass Grants Pass cases held that enforcement of no-camping regulations against individuals who did not have Constitution. In response to these cases, the City, along with nearly every other locality under prohibit enforcement of the No Camping Regulations against homeless persons when there was not available shelter for such persons.
31374221.1
Updated Policy for Enforcement of No Camping Regulations October 14, 2024

After the City updated its regulations and policies to align with Martin and Grants Pass, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Grants Pass on appeal. In June 2024, the Supreme Court released its decision in Grants Pass. In a 6 to 3 decision, the Court held that enforcement of Ninth Circui Grants Pass but also Martin
to enforce generally applicable no-camping regulations without verifying whether the individual At the September 23, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 786, which proposes to amend the No Camping Regulations to better align with Grants Pass
against homeless persons when there was no access to shelter. The second reading of , the
No Camping Regulations would
language is intentionally broad so that the No Camping Regulations do not need to be updated each time the law in this area changes.

In light of the new Grants Pass
Administrative Policy for Enforcement of No Camping Regulations (CMC 8.20 and 12.24) alignment with Grants Pass and Ordinance No. 786.

DISCUSSION
The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to receive and file the proposed updated Policy, which updates the Policy consistent with the new Grants Pass decision and Ordinance No. 786. Specifically, the updated Policy (1) includes an updated summary of applicable case law that takes into account the new Grants Pass decision, (2) streamlines the (since that is no longer legally required) and afford staff additional discretion, all while maintaining the goal of enforcing with kindness and aiming to connect homeless persons to services.

A copy of the proposed updated Policy is included as an attachment to this agenda item, along with a redline of the last version of the Policy to the proposed updated Policy. As further would generally be as follows:

1. Determine whether there is a violation of the No Camping Regulations (versus some other regulation).

2. Determine whether the violator is homeless.

3. If the violator is not homeless, enforce the No Camping Regulations (i.e., issue a citation).
31374221.1
Updated Policy for Enforcement of No Camping Regulations October 14, 2024

4. If the violator is homeless, consider the totality of the circumstances to determine whether to issue a citation (versus a warning, provision of services, etc.).

Council meeting, at which Council generally indicated a desire for staff to continue its existing practices of trying to connect homeless persons to services when possible while also affording staff some additional flexibility and discretion consistent with the new case law.

Staff also conferred with other local jurisdictions to understand their approach to enforcement.

Through that, staff learned that the City of Goleta is taking a similar approach to that proposed in the updated Policy i.e., maintaining a policy of humanitarian concern first and foremost. they prohibit camping in specific zones (like
environmentally sensitive areas), give warnings, issue citations under regulations other than their no camping regulations when applicable, and connect homeless persons to services, all approach is different in that, even for repeat offenders who refuse services, Goleta is not, as of now, issuing citations under their no camping regulations to such persons. Instead, Goleta continues to send outreach teams on a regular basis to meet with people and offer services. d Policy
would authorize staff to issue citations under the No Camping Regulations in certain situations, such as for repeat offenders who refuse services, if staff determines doing so is necessary.

ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY

ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY FOR ENFORCEMENT OF

NO CAMPING REGULATIONS
(CMC 8.20 AND 12.24)

PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY
approach to enforcement of City CMC 8.20
and 12.24 No Camping Regulations consistent with recent case law regarding enforcement of no camping ordinances.

Martin v. City of Boise ( Martin ) and Johnson v. City of Grants Pass ( Grants Pass ).

Together, those cases held that enforcement of no-camping regulations against individuals who did
the U.S. Constitution. In response to these cases, the City, along with nearly every other locality under the Ninth Circuit , updated the No Camping Regulations and related policies to prohibit enforcement of the No Camping Regulations against homeless persons when there was not available shelter for such persons.

Several months after the City updated its regulations and policies to align with Martin and Grants Pass, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Grants Pass on appeal. In June 2024, the Supreme Court released its decision in Grants Pass. In a 6 to 3 decision, the Court held that enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property does not

Following Grants Pass, the City updated the No
Camping Regulations to better align with Grants Pass by removing the language that access to shelter. As amended, the No Camping Regulations instead permit enforcement so that the No Camping
Regulations do not need to be updated each time the law in this area changes.

Since the language in the No Camping Regulations is broad, this policy is intended to 31367793.4

Regulations. In preparing this updated policy, City staff sought input from the City Council and also researched the approaches taken by neighboring jurisdictions.

ENFORCEMENT POLICY
The below policy outlines

1. Is there a violation of the No Camping Regulations?
a. Assess the circumstances:
i. Is the person camping in violation of the No Camping Regulations? ii. Is the person violating the CMC provisions regarding parking of vehicles? iii. Are there facts to suggest violation of some other law or CMC provision? b. Based on the circumstances, use your discretion in determining the best next step. In some situations, a citation under other CMC provisions may be warranted; in others, it may be desirable to issue a citation under the No Camping Regulations. If the latter, keep moving through this flow chart.

2. Is the person homeless?
a. How to determine:
i. Use reasonable discretion
ii. Ask the person what they are doing and why they are there iii. Ask if they have a home/accommodations available to them

1. Example: Person who is living out of their car permanently is likely homeless.

2. Example: Person who is sleeping in their car for the night as they road trip from their home in SF down the coast is likely not homeless.

3. If the person is not homeless, enforce the No Camping Regulations.

4. If the person is homeless, consider whether a citation is warranted. a. Consider the totality of the circumstances:
i. Have you encountered this person before? Have you issued them a warning?
ii. Is the person trespassing?
iii. Is there an immediate health and safety concern, such as if the person is camping in an environmentally sensitive area, near a school, or in a manner that creates a disruption to vital government services? iv. Can the person be relocated to a homeless shelter? (See note regarding homeless shelters below.)
31367793.4
v. Can the person be connected to other services? (See note regarding other services below.)
b. Based on the totality of the circumstances, use your discretion in determining the whether to issue a citation under the No Camping Regulations. i. Example: If you are faced with a repeat offender who has previously refused services and who is camping in an environmentally sensitive area, a citation likely makes sense.
ii. Example: If you encounter someone for the first time and they are sleeping in their car in a non-disruptive location, it may make more sense to issue a warning and advise the person of the City’s No Camping Regulations and available services rather than issuing a citation. iii. Example: If you encounter a homeless person who is not a repeat offender camping in violation of the No Camping Regulations and there is space available in a local homeless shelter, the best approach may be to offer to take the person to the homeless shelter, without issuing any citation.

NOTE REGARDING HOMELESS SHELTERS AND OTHER SERVICES

1. Homeless Shelters
a. Regional Network: Due to the small size of the City, the City works in conjunction with other local agencies to address and respond to homelessness on a regional basis. This regional network is known as the County of Santa Barbara Continuum of Care (“CoC”). Call the CoC’s Coordinated Entry System phone line at 805-450-3558 or call a CoC Diversion Specialist at 805-270-9581 to check shelter availability. The CoC also maintains a website page with lists of local housing providers: https://www.countyofsb.org/572/Local-Providers. b. Warming Centers: Warming centers are activated in two situations: (1) there is a projection of 50% or higher for rain or (2) it is estimated that the temperature will be at or below 35 degrees. When activated, the warming center rotates its location between Carpinteria Veterans Hall and the Carpinteria Community Church. There are little to no barriers to entry to warming centers, except that the weather must be of a certain condition. The warming centers do not offer beds, only mats.
c. Safe Parking Pilot Program: The City is in the process of establishing a Safe Parking Pilot Program, which will allow for overnight vehicle camping in specified locations and will include the provision of certain services. This program is offered in conjunction with a third-party, New Beginnings. For more information, call the City at (805) 684-5405.

d. Other: In addition to the above options, there may be other private shelter options, such as shelter options offered by local churches or other similar groups.

2. Other Services
a. The City has an approved Overnight Camping Notice that can be left on cars suspected of overnight camping and which includes information about local services for persons experiencing homelessness.
b. There are restrooms located near 9th Street that are open 24 hours per day. c. The City may be able to help coordinate transportation to shelters, even if such shelters are ones with barriers and/or out of the City.

POLICY FOR NON-DISCRIMINATORY ENFORCEMENT
City staff and law enforcement personnel shall treat all persons equally, regardless of their economic or living conditions. All persons have the right to use the public streets, parks, beaches and facilities so long as they are not engaged in specific activity that violates state or local laws or creates a public health and safety risk. Factors such as race, sex, sexual preference, age, dress, unusual or disheveled or impoverished appearance do not alone justify enforcement action. Nor can generalized complaints by residents or merchants or others justify detention or citation of any person absent individualized suspicion or probable cause.

GENERAL NOTES
The law in this area is continually evolving, and we will work to continually update this policy as necessary. Regardless of changes to the law, City staff and the Sheriff’s Office should be mindful of the following:
• Act with compassion.
• Advise citizens of the City’s No Camping Regulations and related local law. • Aim to connect persons experiencing homelessness with housing and services. • Issue citations only when warranted.
• Reach out to the City Manager with questions or suggestions.

If you have any questions regarding this policy, contact the City Manager at [email protected], and please copy the City Program Manager of Emergency Services, Volunteers & Outreach at [email protected].
